Solidworks hijacked some of my line colors?

[rparrish85]

For some reason, in one of my drawings solidworks desided that one of my section lines was going to be a different color than the that set by the default standards. It also made one of the components shown in this section that same color. The section line doesn't even cut through the component that has changed color either. Everything else is the correct document color including a detail that was produced off of this section. Has anyone else out there ever experienced something like this?

If this is only happening in one drawing, chances are the drawing has some sort corruption or someone was messing around. If it's happening everywhere, then you've got some sort of glitch in your system. When things aren't appearing as they should, start with your graphics driver and go from there.

Unfortunately it's not only my drawing. It's happening randomly to other people in our office as well. There doesn't seem to be much of a rhyme or reason to when it's going to happen. I was hoping that I may have inadvertently tripped something while I was working, but I believe it might be a solidworks issue at this point. We have the most up to date driver recommended specifically by solidworks, but it didn't fix the problem. Thanks for your help though.

Ok, you say it's happening randomly. Does it happen to drawings randomly, or would the drawing always show the same anomaly? Have you checked the SolidWorks knowledge base, or with your VAR, to see if others are experiencing the same issue? When did you start seeing this and have you recently installed an SP?
If others in your office are seeing the same thing, but on different drawings, I doubt it's a setting. Is your install local or via admin image?
